I love music. And many people do. Whether it is iPod or a walkman, many people listen to music, from The Beatles to Eminem, from idols to rock groups. I personally love hiphop music very much, and once my parents took my MP3 away from me, and told me to concentrate only on studying.
A quite reasonable argument and exactly why I would like to suggest 30 days without music. However, since I had my laptop, I was able to listen to music by youtube. Whether everyone instinctly likes music or my passion for hiphop was extraordinary, I don't know. But I was very painful, and I realized how important music was to me.
The purpose of this experiment is to learn to control one's desires. I am not sure that this would be effective to everyone. But I do believe listeners like me would undergo severe changes. Because I was somehow exposed to some music, I felt pain but didn't reform. If one experiences total separation from music, I believe they will be able to control their lifestyles more easily.
To students, music is a distraction from studies. Well, actually, listening to music is a distraction to everything. It is even proven by psychology by experimental means. If you study something listening to music, you will remember it well went you are listening to the music again. However, you remember best when you study sober and not listening to music.
I do believe this experiment is worth a try. Especially when midterm is coming up.
Good luck with your studying, and this is an interesting idea. But with all today's media and advertising, and technology enveloping society in almost every way, wouldn't avoiding music completely mean....moving to the middle of the forest and living in a tent? Even then, aren't birds chirping considered music? I don't think we can escape music. I find I have enough trouble getting a song out of my brain, so turning off an iPod might only help a little. I also heard that certain kinds of music were better than others for studying - such as classical Bethoven etc. being more effective than Eminem. Music definitely plays a huge role in our psychology and effects our moods, so this is an interesting concept.
